Leo just had a grand-mal seizure, at about 2:15am. It was a rather long one and after it ended he was out of it completely for about 5 minutes. I put a towel under him while he was having the seizure, to help catch the urine that was starting to come out. That is about all you can do while the grand-mal is happening. It is a bad night for him to have one, not that there is ever a good-night, but I slept only 4 hours last night and have only been sleeping just under 2 hours tonight, and I never go back to sleep after he has one. I like to stay up with him to make sure he is okay and look for any odd behavior or more seizures.

It is now 3:20am and Leo is laying next to me on the bed. He is still drooling, but that happens on particularly bad seizures and can continue for

Leo will go to the vet when they open. His head movements are just not normal and more like he has a tick now. Plus he is drooling more than he ever has. Aside form those things he seems okay, and is just laying here with me, twitching with his head movements and letting me brush him.

Pink,


Yes, one of the things being done to isolate the cause of his red and white blood counts was lowering his meds as of last Saturday. Whether or not this was the cause of the seizure is unknown. I gave him a full dose this morning though.

I just wish we could do the same thing to the sorry SOB who caused all this for Leo in the first place. :(

(((Hugs))) to you and Leo - I hope he will be okay.

Sounds like the lowering of the dosage of his meds triggered this seizure.
